2 humpback whales entangled near Juneau reported to NOAA:
JUNEAU, Alaska - On July 3, NOAA’s Alaska Marine Mammal Stranding hotline received two reports of entangled humpback whales in the Juneau area.
The second report came later in the day from a fisherman who said a humpback whale became caught in a gillnet while fishing on the fishing in Taku Inlet. Fisherman attempted to untangle the whale, but it ultimately swam away with about 100 feet of gillnet and corkline wrapped around the base of its tail.
“Whales can become entangled in just about any type of loose material in the marine environment,” Wright said. “We do receive multiple mooring line entanglement reports annually and have had to disentangle whales from mooring lines on more than one occasion.”
